    Did they put you into the REACT study for abnormal corneal topography?

    Guard non-prior: August 2015 - Selected September 2015 - MEPS December 2015 - Sworn in July 2016 - FC1/MFS August 2016 - FC1 approved by AETC January 2017 - TFIT/TFOT June 2017 - IFS August 2017 - ENJJPT PM me if we might be in the same class!

    I'm in the same boat. The generals need to sign at the wing level and higher (eventually even up to the TAG). I finished my FC1 in July and my packet hasn't gone to NGB yet. I just hope the January TFOT classes don't fill up by then.
  4. Kilabe26
    Wow... you went to FC1 last week and you already got your dates dropped? Are you ANG? Or Reserve?
  5. Kilabe26
    I got that email (it was only for fighter guys I think). They revised the email and it is no longer a priority as the regular AF has taken some of the slots instead. Therefore, no big push anymore to send guys to the 9/21 iteration... too bad.
  6. Kilabe26
    Got it. I was under the impression that the NGB packet needed the AETC-approved FC1 with it to schedule dates. Thanks for clearing up the mud!
  7. Kilabe26
    Anybody know what the FY17 ENJJPT class dates are?
  8. Kilabe26
    Anybody know what the process is for the medical packet for guard guys after FC1/MFS at wright-pat? I know it goes from wright-pat (ACS) to AETC, but not sure if it goes to NGB for approval then your guard unit or what. Also, @DeltaTango, how did you find out when your packet was sent and approved by NGB?
  9. Kilabe26
    Got it. So the swearing in process for the guard is in conjunction with MEPS, correct? I'm guessing you're sworn in as an E-3? Do you have to get a CAC card after you swear in?
  10. Kilabe26
    Makes sense. Didn't know you just needed the prescription to get me to 20/20... everything I've seen stated you usually conduct the vision tests (color, depth, etc.) with corrective lenses during FCI. Good to know though. Thanks as always!
  11. Kilabe26
    how much does a first class medical typically cost?
  12. Kilabe26
    Do I need to correct my vision to 20/20 during MEPS in order to qualify for FC1/MFS? Or can I update my prescription for FC1 as long as I pass accession standards in MEPS? I'm just not sure if my new prescription would come in time for MEPS that's why.
  13. Kilabe26
    Are you (docs at MEPS or local ANG flight surgeon) able to submit a waiver if detected in MEPS? Or can the flight/vision waiver process only start post FC1?
  14. Kilabe26
    How long does it typically take to receive an approved astigmatism waiver (from when they submit it at MFS)?
  15. Kilabe26
    What are the typical scores needed to be competitive for ENJJPT? Are there any other factors for selection outside of PCSM and AFOQT scores?
  16. Kilabe26
    What's your height?
  17. Kilabe26
    What's involved when you swear in? Are you technically enlisted? Also, what additional forms did you have to complete after getting selected (for NGB approval)?
  18. Kilabe26
    Are all the vision tests done corrected (with contact lenses or glasses) beside the one Uncorrected visual acuity test?
  19. Kilabe26
    I know in the waiver guide, an astigmatism waiver apparently needs ACS review and evaluation. Therefore, does that elongate and/or hurt the chances of it getting approved (even if I tested somewhere in the waiver able range, i.e. 2.00)? Also, what's the ACS Excessive Astigmatism Management Group?
  20. Kilabe26
    DeadDebate and 81L BLR, what are the chances for an astigmatism waiver? I keep bouncing between 1.50 and 1.75... Is it just as easy to get as a myopia waiver?
  21. Kilabe26
    Thanks guys... Definitely puts me at ease!
  22. Kilabe26
    Deaddebate... so waivers for myopia (for both visual acuity and refraction error) are fairly easy to get? I didn't see the waiverable limits for visual acuity in the waiver guide, but I guess 20/80ish is pretty guaranteed for a waiver (mainly looking at Kaputt's situation)?
  23. Kilabe26
    They use the OVT at MFS as well?
  24. Kilabe26
    How do they test uncorrected visual acuity for the IFC1 and in MFS? Do they use an AFVT? Or is it a chart on the wall? Also, how strict are they on minor squinting?
